By working with one of its closest customers, Wijmo 2022 v2 now includes accessibility improvements. One common practice when working with tables is to add a caption to describe what is displayed in the table. This same practice can be applied to ARIA Grid components, as well. The team has added a new ariaLabel property to FlexGrid to make adding captions to datagrid for screen readers more efficient.
Now, JavaScript developers can set the property to what they want screen readers to announce as the caption for their datagrid. Each grid can have an ariaLabel setting. Explore the release article to learn more about Wijmo’s accessibility improvements in 2022 v2.
“We are pleased to share Wijmo 2022 v2 with our customers,” said Product Manager Chris Bannon. “The updates to Wijmo demonstrate the product’s ability to keep up with the latest technology. We hope they inspire our customers to build some amazing apps.”
